Information Rita C. would like to know about your pet

Would like to know if dogs have been house/toilet trained, how many times they eat, how often then go for walks, how long are the walks, are they good on the lead, whattheir recall is like and anything they don't like e.g loud vehicles, bikes, etc.

A typical day

We dog in my care I will take them out to the park or woods and let them explore my local neighbourhood. We can play games like fetch or chase and sniff out specific toys or treats.

Pets

Home away from home with a caring family

Pet care experience

I will treat your fur baby like one of the family. They will get lots of attention and cuddles but also time to snooze. We go for walks in the park and/or woods so they will get a chance to stretch their legs too.

This was the second time Rita looked after my dog Jessie, and once again the experience was outstanding. Rita first cared for Jessie for two weeks over Christmas and New Year, and more recently for an additional week. Each time, she has been absolutely wonderful. What stands out most is how much Rita genuinely loves dogs. She treats them with remarkable kindness, patience, and attention. Jessie was not just being watched, she was truly cared for as part of the family. Rita kept me updated throughout the stay, sending plenty of photos and messages, which gave me great peace of mind. She also made sure Jessie had regular exercise, with three walks a day, and plenty of affection and companionship. Her home is warm and welcoming, shared with her husband, daughter, and their lovely dog FitzRoy. It is clear that dogs are an important part of their family life, and Jessie always feels comfortable and happy there. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rita to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and genuinely caring dog sitter. Knowing that Jessie is with someone who pays such close attention to her needs and well-being is incredibly reassuring.

I needed a new go to for our little shih tzu as the lady who we had always used since he was a puppy moved out of area. We first did a meet and greet with Rita and her lovely shih tzu Fitzroy before the first date with her - safe to say Rita is absolutely our new go to and we feel so much more content knowing we have Rita to look after our Cosmo during a 2 week holiday later this year. She is so kind and caring and sent us lots of lovely pictures. HIGHLY recommend her to anyone seeking care for their dog.

Rita took care of my dog for 30 days and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was communicative, reliable and clearly loves what she does. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My dog came back happy, healthy and clearly very well looked after. It’s obvious Rita pays close attention to each dog’s needs and treats them like her own. I would absolutely trust her again for long stays and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter. Thank you, Rita!
